Deserve

Thinking, not all deserve my compassion or care I put myself out there Yes I dared I wish I hadn't cared Are they worth the pain they cause me I want to be free Will never be Why must I feel them if I can't do a thing but feel them cry Why Compassion , empathy , worthless to them I can't reach I don't care about me. Don't you see. I have given all I have , all I am , set me free This flesh dies. My soul cries Time flies I can't get away What must I say. Give me the right word Make my voice heard Tell me what I must do My desire is true If I don't , who will. I feel them still The hungry the homeless the poor We must do more Open that door truly am I insane That I still feel their pain What am I to do I ask you They are our sisters, and brothers Our father's and mother's Our families one and all We do nothing , mankind will fail We have to work together but we don't. We just won't ! It makes me so sad And it's just too bad But still , I feel them cry Why I want to give up so bad And that makes me sad
